' ' HE 1959 graduates of Washington and Lee realize that the school is a l iw different place from the campus they found so impressive as Freshmen. The sound of pile drivers and the debr is left by demolition and new construction is ver ' much in evidence as Washington and Lee begins the latest phase in its physical growth. This growth has been a long process. It is a fascinating story embodying a colorfully his- toric past, a progressive present, and an exciting future. When the class of 1963 enrolls next September, its situation will be quite different from that of the class of 1959 and the others which have preceded it. Soon, as architect ' s designs become realities, academic standards as well as living conditions will be greatly changed. The process of physical expansion has been a slow one. It is difficult for us to conceive Washington and Lee without the colonnade, Lee Chapel, and all the other familiar landmarks, which we have come to take so much for granted. Yet, our university has developed under loving care, so to speak, from a small germ. Bom in a rude, bucolic setting, this germ was carefully nurtured until today we cannot grow quickly enough. The original frontier site at Mt. Pleasant is long forgotten by most of us; yet the spirit of intellectual adventure remains a guiding principle in the space age, even as in the days of our colonial predecessors.
